About This Item
First American hardcover edition, with dust jacket, published by Candlewick Press, 2010. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. The fifth book in the Emily Windsnap series, in which Neptune gives Emily a mission that sends her back to Brightport. This is not a remainder, not a library discard. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. The boards are flat, the corners are not bumped or creased. Edges of the the text block show a few spots of smudges from wear and use mostly to the fore edge. Binding is tight and square, no wear to the dust jacket. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
Synopsis
Emily Windsnap is finally enjoying a swimmingly peaceful life on Allpoints Island, hanging out with her mermaid bff, Shona, and her new friend Aaron (half-merperson like herself). But their idyll is cut short when Emily learns that the Windsnaps and friends must return to their old home in Brightport, where construction projects are threatening a secret mermaid community under the sea. Neptune's mandate? No less than an interspecies intervention to bring merpeople and humans together, a task the imperious god feels the mixed Windsnap family is well suited for. There are just a few snags for Emily, however, like dealing with old nemeses Mandy and Mr. Beeson, figuring out her feelings toward Aaron—and untangling a high-suspense mystery related to a group of legendary lost sirens. Everyone's favorite half-mermaid is back with a splash in a sparkling new adventure her fans will be eager to get their fins on.
